If you know it worked OK in 98 try XP's compatibility wizard. Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Program Compatibility Wizard. Choose to install in 98 compatibility mode & see if it works. Doesn't always but I've had a fair bit of success with this myself.

so far I have not seen such an error message when I was installing Seagates Crystal Reports 7 on Windows XP, I think the best way is to update your XP with the latest patches and then reinstall Crystal Reports 7...

I suspect your XP may have some system files missing during installation, windows update may eliminate this...

OK well there you have it. sunyuchen has successfully installed the same program in XP therefore yours should work too. Always handy to hear from someone who has done what you're trying to do as it eliminates that grey area of whether it should be expected to work or not.
Based on this I would uninstall the program, run Windows Update then re-install & se how you go. If it still doesn't work try the compatibility mode thing.
